New DNA Answers for Cold or Stalled Cases

FIGG enables investigators to identify unknown suspects or victims by tracing distant relatives and constructing family trees to pinpoint identities — even in decades-old cold cases.

Resolve Forensics is different–on purpose. Our advanced forensic science and DNA capabilities have developed the industry’s only subscription-based DNA testing model—delivering the lowest per-sample pricing available, with predictable costs, no hidden fees or surprises, and turnaround times in weeks—not months.

  • Dedicated Account and Training Manager
  • Secure online JusticeTrax Portal access
  • No Rush Fee
  • Standard testing turnaround times are 30 days or less
  • A’ La Carte Pricing for all Cases that exceed the selected tier amount [pricing schedule]
  • Direct processing of Backlog Reduction cases based on tier level (extracts only; sequencing and bioinformatics only) [pricing schedule]

We welcome multiple samples for testing in a given case. For subscription cases where we have multiple samples for the same case that fail at quantification or phase 1 QC, Resolve Forensics will count up to three (3) such attempts as one (1) billable case. This supports flexibility for difficult or degraded evidence.

At the end of the 12-month service period, should any “Included Cases” go unused for the selected tier, you will have the option to roll them over if a new contract is signed before the previous contract expires. Any additional cases submitted beyond the included number in the selected subscription tier are billed at a la carte rates.

As Resolve Forensics grows and invests in additional automation and equipment, we anticipate increasing the number of cases included per subscription tier at no additional cost. While not guaranteed, this reflects our commitment to efficiency and client value.

Client shall select one (1) of the six (6) annual subscription tiers. The selected tier provides a fixed number of forensic sample submissions per year. Additional cases beyond the tiered allocation will be billed at standard à la carte rates. The selected tier shall remain in effect for a period of twelve (12) months from the effective start date. During the term, Resolve Forensics shall provide forensic DNA testing services for Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG), as outlined in the selected subscription tier.

All case data, DNA profiles, and related information shall be handled in strict compliance with applicable forensic standards, privacy regulations, and industry best practices. Resolve Forensics agrees to maintain the confidentiality and security of all information, employing encrypted systems, access controls, and audit trails to protect sensitive data.

Add-On: Backlog Reduction
Testing Schedule

Include a Backlog Reduction Add-On for previously extracted DNA samples. These cases bypass extraction and Phase 1 QC and are processed directly through Resolve Forensics’ standard sequencing and bioinformatics workflow.

 Number of Cases Per Year Cost Per Year Cost Per Case
 6 Cases + $11,400 $1,900
 12 Cases + $22,200 $1,850
 30 Cases + $54,000 $1,800
 60 Cases + $105,000 $1,750
